Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 , as amended (29 U.S.C. 794d), requires federal agencies, as they procure, develop, maintain, or use electronic and information technology (also known as ICT), to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access and use information and data comparably with how individuals without disabilities can access and use it, unless this would impose an undue burden on the agency. Examples of ICT include websites, software, and electronic content.

Crawford County is committed to meeting or exceeding the Standards for Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (36 CFR 1194.1), which are the technical requirements and criteria that measure how well we conform with the law. The standards incorporate the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0, Level A and Level AA Success Criteria and Conformance Requirements.
